Steps

asr.c2db.piezoelectrictensor

asr.c2db.piezoelectrictensor.main(atoms, strain_percent=1, calculator={'charge': 0, 'convergence': {'density': 1e-07, 'eigenstates': 1e-11}, 'kpts': {'density': 12.0}, 'mode': {'ecut': 800, 'name': 'pw'}, 'name': 'gpaw', 'occupations': {'name': 'fermi-dirac', 'width': 0.05}, 'symmetry': 'off', 'txt': 'formalpol.txt', 'xc': 'PBE'}, relaxcalculator={'charge': 0, 'convergence': {'forces': 0.0001}, 'kpts': {'density': 6.0, 'gamma': True}, 'mode': {'ecut': 800, 'name': 'pw'}, 'name': 'gpaw', 'occupations': {'name': 'fermi-dirac', 'width': 0.05}, 'symmetry': {'symmorphic': False}, 'txt': 'relax.txt', 'xc': 'PBE'}, fmax=0.01, enforce_symmetry=True)[source]

Calculate piezoelectric tensor.

This recipe calculates the clamped and full piezoelectric tensor. You generally will only need the full piezoelectric tensor. The clamped piezoelectric tensor is useful for analyzing results. The piezoelectric tensor is calculated using a finite difference scheme by calculating the derivative of the polarization density at finite strains.

Parameters

  • strain_percent (float) – Amount of strain applied to the material.

  • calculator (dict) – Calculator parameters.

  • atoms (ase.atoms.Atoms) –

  • relaxcalculator (dict) –

  • fmax (float) –

  • enforce_symmetry (bool) –

Return type
